Bug#646671: xserver-xorg-video-radeon: Gnome3 fails to fallback, Graphics card hot in desktop, extremely slow 3D

["Rob W." <werfel305@aol.com>]

Package: xserver-xorg-video-radeon
Version: 1:6.14.2-2
Followup-For: Bug #646671

I used the info in the link you gave me. Switching the power method to "dynpm"
seems to make no difference. The GPU temp will stick around 70-73 degrees C. I
also tried switching the power profile to "low", but it only took the temp down
to 69 degrees. For comparison, when on Windows 7, the GPU idles around 40
degrees.

I have been using "sensors" to get the temperatures.
